Inner Fire

New Yorkers who don’t have a fireplace during this deep January freeze can head to the Joyce Theater to see Ronald K. Brown’s Evidence A Dance Company, where the russet backdrops, rolling hips, and reggae beats give off plenty of warmth.

On Endurance

In a four-day span of early January I saw: Monica Bill Barnes wrestle a giant beach ball at Playwrights Horizons; Malcolm-x Betts and Nile Harris shoot blanks into the rafters of the Chocolate Factory in honor of Judith Jamison’s spirit; Symara Sarai run in and out of a swirling lasso at New York Live Arts Studios; and Angie Pittman dart across a shallow stage, in character as a vampire, cape flying, at BAM Fisher Hillman Studio in a shared bill with Kyle Marshall Choreography. In short, it was APAP season.*

A Century of Moderns

Sara Veale’s new book Wild Grace: The Untamed Women of Modern Dance (Faber & Faber) examines the lives of nine boldly subversive dancemakers over nearly a century, starting with Isadora Duncan and ending with Pearl Lang. Along the way, it provides a pared but potent mini-history on the emergence of women’s rights.

Answering the Calls

One of the first dances I reviewed for Fjord was Jack Ferver’s hilarious yet penetrating “Everything is Imaginable” at New York Live Arts. It featured a series of solos in which accomplished dancers from different genres portrayed their childhood idols.

There’s a distinct warrior theme to the evening shared by Angie Pittman and Kyle Marshall, though the two choreographers are working in very different styles and tone.

Into the Heart of the Cave

One of the gems of New York City’s dance landscape is the Graham Studio Series, a programming cycle that offers behind-the-scenes interaction with the work of the Graham Company in their studio space. In early January, the series presented a Graham Deconstructed event exploring Martha Graham’s modernist masterwork “Cave of the Heart.”

Ideation

Repertory Dance Theatre’s “Emerge” had the feel of a dance studio recital, for better and for worse. The annual showcase, designed to emphasize the robust dance community in Utah—which does, by the way, exist—had a warm, familiar feel, but lacked sufficient pedigree for a company of RDT’s caliber.

Notes for the New Year

My favorite books of 2024 offer dance history from the artist’s point of view. Perhaps there is nothing too unusual about this, and yet, something about this trend feels special as we step with trepidation into the first days of 2025.
